PREFACE. 

ORUilN    AND    ITRPOSE. 

These  P'estivai  Services  have  not  been  made  all  at  once  but  have 
grown  duriiij:  se»eral  years,  called  forth  by  the  increasing  observance 
of  these  four  Festivals  in  cur  cliurches.  Some  of  the  Services  have 
been  used  many  times,  and  revised  as  experience  has  dictated. 

Very  far  indeed  they  are  from  })erfect.  Expressions  of  worship 
grow  very  slowly  to  their  noblest  form.  But  these  have  come  from 
so  much  and  so  reverent  trial  that  we  hope  they  will  help  awhile  to 
make  our  Easter,  Summer.  Harvest  and  Christmas  Festivals  not  only 
occasions,  but  the  recurring  occasions  which  bring  with  them  every 
year  the  same  thoughts  and  observance,  associated  with  the  same 
words  and  songs  of  worship.  The  influence  of  association  is  what 
we  seek  mainly,  which  is  gained  by  using  the  same  service  year  after 
year;  it  is  our  experience  that  with  every  repetition  the  Service  grows 
dearer,  more  toucliing,  more  helpful.  By  degrees,  tender  and  sacred 
memories  will  gather  around  them,  which  will  make  their  recurrence 
truly  sacramental.  The  element  of  variety  is  provided  in  the  carols 
and  hymns,  and  in  the  places  left  in  the  Services  for  each  minister  to 
select  Scripture  readings  for  himself.  It  is  hoped  and  believed  that 
the  value  of  these  Festival  Days  will  become  very  great,  both  for  the 
thoughts  enshrined  in  them  and  for  their  joyful  character;  and  that 
they  will  deepen  and  elevate  the  worship  part  of  our  church-life 
To  "these  four  it  is  hoped  that  each  church  will  add  a  fifth,  in  its  own 
way,  namely,  a  Covenant  or  Fellowship  Day,  which  may  become  for 
each  its  own  most  tender  and  beautiful  observance :  we  have  tried  to 
supply  some  help  toward  this  object. 

MANNER   OF   USING. 

1.  All  the  music  of  the  Services  is  meant  for  singing  by  the  Con- 
gregation. It  is  well  to  have  a  choir,  provided  it  be  in  sympathy  with 
the  people  and  with  the  worship ;  but  let  it  be  merely  helper  and 
leader.  A  choir  which  supplants  the  singing  of  the  congregation,  or 
interferes  with  it,  is  nothing  but  an  injury. 

2.  By  the  congregation  we  mean  old  and  young  togetlier.  These 
Festival  Days  should  be  especially  marked  by  the  participation  of  all 
the  children  in  the  service. 

3.  The  music  should  he  thoroughly  learned  beforehand.  We  know 
by  actual  trial  that  there  is  no  music  in  these  services  which  children 
cannot  master.  Once  having  learned  it  thoroughly,  they  love  it  and 
remember  it  from  year  to  year.  Thus  we  have  found  it  possible, 
after  one  or  two  repetitions,  to  go  into  church,  when  the  day  returns 
the  next  year,  without  any  preperation,  as  freely  and  naturally  as  to 
any  usual  service;  and  this  adds  to  the  occasion  great  sincerity,  beauty 
and  enjoyment. 

4.  The  Christmas  Carols,  though  not  specially  divided  by  head" 
ings,  are  grouped  as  much  as  })osible  in  three  divisions,  namely, 
Religious  Thoughts  and  Associations,  the  Christmas  Story  and  Carols 
for  the  Tree. 

5.  It  will  be  grateful  and  helpful  to  take  up  a  collection  for  some 
noble  charity  at  the  Harvest  Service;  a  good  place  for  it  is  after  the 
responses  which  follow  the  Sermon.

The  sun  sends  a  warmer  beam, 

The  ice  and  snows  are  melted. 

Rains  fall,  brooks  are  loosened. 

The  softened  eai'th  is  prepared  for  the  seed, 

f]arly  flowers  appear  in  tlie  meadows, 

Trees,  lately  bare,  take  on  their  green  robes, 

The  breeze  is  full  of  balm. 

Birds  return  with  their  songs, 

Farth,  air  and  sky  are  full  of  beauty, 

Proclaiming  blessing  and  i)raise. 

Let  not  our  hearts  be  thankless  nor  our  mouths  dumb.

And  as  it  was  in  the  beginning'  so  is  it  now  every  da}'. 
"We  plough,  and  sow  the  seed  upon  tlie  land,

And  when  we  go  home,  he  drops  thereon  increase  and  plenty.

£ct  us  tliink  with  hope, faitli,  joy,  of  tlio  iininortiil  life. 

^hirveiloiis,  precious  and  beautiful  are  the  creatures  of  God. 

There  is  a  beauty  of  their  Spirit  which  i.s  imperishable. 

Their  life  is  great  and  glorious, 

Joyful  with  health  and  strength,  with  love  and  with  knowledge. 

How  can  death  be  evil,  being  a  portion  of  this  beautiful  life? 

Every  where, at  all  times,  men  have  believed  that  in  death  they  die  not; 

That  when  hearts  are  dust,  heart's  loves  remain. 

Let  us  listen  to  some  of  the  brave   scriptures  of  this  hope  and  trust: — 

lka^inc!l  from  Scrifiturcs,  Saints  anb  Sages. 
cUarol. 

lil)C  Suirit  itself  beareth  witness  with  our  spirit  that  we  are  the 
children  of  God.  For  which  (;ause  we  faint  not;  but  though 
our  outward  man  is  perishing,  yet  the  inward  man  is  renewed 
day  by  day.

(ill)is  is  our  Summer  Festival: 

Beauty  is  spread  ujmjii  the  hills, 

And  the  valleys  are  full  of  flowers. 

Wonderful  is  the  life  of  Summer  that  shows  forth  the  glory  of  God. 

Yet  this  earthly  beauty  is  hnt  a  little  of  that  which  is  in  store: 

For  no  one  can  measure  the  riches  of  God. 

Eye  hath  not  seen  nor  ear  heard  the  thiuirs  that  God  hath  prepared 

for  those  that  serve  him. 
So  let  us  join  in  this  Summer  hymn  of  praise. 

All  singing.

The  heavens  declare  the  glory  of  God. 
The  firmament  showeth  his  handiwork. 
Day  unto  day  uttereth  .'Speech, 
And  night  unto  night  showeth  knoweldge. 
In  them  hath  he  .set  a  tabernacle  fur  tlie  sun. 
In  the  ea.'^t  he  maketh  the  morning  rejoice, 
At  noon  he  l^ringeth  rest  and  giveth  food, 
In  the  west  he  calleth  forth  the  evening 
And  biildoth  the  hosts  of  heaven  appear. 

All  -iiiirin?.       Praise  the  Lord,  al'  ye  hosts!

How  dwelleth  the  love  of  God  in  him? 
For  lie  that  loveth  not  his  brother  whom  lie  hath  seen, 

How  can  lie  love  Ciod,  whom  he  hath  not  seen. 
Therefore  withhold  not  kindness  from  them  that  need  ii

And  to  be  rich  in  good  works.

And  those  who  sufi'er  adversity  as  if  we  were  in  distress,

Wherein  we  call  to  mind  Jesus  of  Nazareth, 
To  rejoice  in  his  birth,  to  give  thanks  for  his  goodness.

We  hallow  in  our  hearts  his  law  of  Religion, 

That  we  love  God  with  ail  our  hearts  and  minds  and  strength: 
And  his  law  of  Justice, 

That  we  love  our  neighbors  as  ourselves  ; 
An»l  'lis  law  of  Love, 

That  we  love  our  enemies,  bless  them  that  curse  us,  and  do  gooQ

And  hath  wrought  righteousness, 

And  renews  the  hope  and  faith  of  men. 

Teaching  the  truth  which  maketh  free. 

Then  the  people  adore  him  with  songs  of  gladness, 

They  glorify  iiis  birth,  deeds  and  life 

With  wonders  and  signs  and  with  heavenly  songs, 

Which  are  like  the  golden  clouds  of  morning  on  a  hill. 

With  simplicity  they  utter  their  soul's  devotion, 

Saying:  It  is  God  who  giveth  wisdom,

And  tliey  sought  shelter  in  the  stable.

^nb  on  the  birth-night  of  Jesus, 

There  were  shepherds  in  the  field  in  the  same  country, 

Keeping  watch  by  night  over  their  flock. 

And  suddenly  an  angel  stood  by  them, 

And  a  great  light  shone  round  them  ; 

And  the  angel  told  them  Jesus  was  born 

And  was  lying  in  a  manger  near  by, 

Who  should  be  a  king  and  a  prophet  and  a  Savior. 

Then  suddenly  there  was  with  the  angel  a  multitude  of  the  heavenly 

hosts, 

Singing, — Glory  to  God  in  the  highest,

Jesus  was  anointed  to  preach  glad  tidings  to  the  poor; 

To  heal  the  broken-hearted  ; 
To  comfort  those  that  mourn, 

To  proclaim  freedom  for  the  oppressed. 
He  came  not  to  be  ministered  unto, 

But  to  minister. 

He  said,  For  tnis  cause  came  I  into  the  world. 

That  I  should  bear  witness  to  the  truth  and  work  the  works  of 
him  that  sent  me. 
And  if  any  one  desires  to  come  after  me. 

Let  him  deny  himself  and  take  up  his  cross  ; 
For  I  came  not  t(j  do  mine  own  will, 

But  the  will  of  the  Father  that<^ent  me. 
Jesus  was  whipped,  mocked,  crowned  with  thorns, 

And  put  to  death  upon  the  cro.ss. 
But  he  was  faithful  to  tlie  end  and  vn-torious  over  death, 

liearing  all  things,  hoping  all  things,  rejoicing  in  the  truth.

The  world  is  wide  and  many  families  are  gathered  within  it ; 

But  to  each  heart  one  home  is  most  familiar  and  dear. 
The  earth  is  great  and  many  are  the  nations  that  dwell  upon  it; 

But  to  each  heart  one  country  is  most  familiar  and  dear. 
To  onr  country  we  owe  our  service  and  love,  as  good  citizens : 

As  citizens  of  the  great  world  we  have  duties  to  all  mankind. 
Have  not  all  one  Father? 

Of  one  hath  God  made  every  nation  of  men,  to  dwell  on  all  the 
face  of  the  earth. 
As  in  the  community  of  men,  so  in  the  community  of  nations;  if  one 
member  suffer,  all  the  members  suffer  therein  ; 
And  if  one  member  rejoice,  all  the  members  rejoice  therein. 
The  time  cometh  when  men  shall  beat  their  swords  into  ploughshares, 
and  their  spears  into  pruning-hooks  ; 
When  nation  shall  not  lift  up  the  sword  against  nation,  neither 
shall  they  learn  war  any  more. 

Open  ye  the  gates,  that  the  righteous  nation  may  enter  in  ; 

The  nation  that  keepeth  the  truth,  that  establisheth  Justice; 
That  maketh  its  rulers  Righteousness  and  its  otlicers  Peace; 

Wherein  each  one  despiseth  the  gain  of  oppression,  and  with- 
holdeth  his  hands  from  bribes.

I  al.-^o  am  a  child,  and  I  For  all  Ijehind  the  starry  sky, 

Am  ignorant  and  weak  ;  Behind  the  world  so  broad, 

I  gaze  npon  the  starry  sky,  Behind  men's  hearts  and  souls  doth  lie 

And  then  I  must  not  speak  :         The  Infinite  of  God. 
Lo  I  Lord,  I  sit  in  thy  wide  space. 

My  child  upon  my  knee  ; 
She  looketli  up  unto  my  face, 
And  I  look  up  to  thee.

^c  fiovcnant  Service. 


AVe  otter  in  this  book  no  complete  Service  of  Covenant  or  P'ellow- 
t^liip,  because  this  is  a  service  so  specially  related  to  each  church,  and 
>()  connected  with  the  covenant  of  the  church  and  influenced  by  it,  that 
it  seems  best,  and  even  necessary,  to  leave  it  to  be  shaped  by  each 
congregation  for  itself.  Yet  we  feel  that  it  may  become  in  some  con- 
gregations the  tenderest  and  most  solemn  of  all  our  Festivals.  The 
value  of  a  service  as  a  Bond  of  Fellowship  for  all,  and  as  a  Bond  of 
Con.secration  for  all,  too,  but  especially  for  the  children  as  they  near 
young  manhood  and  young  womanhood,  is  manifestly  great;  and  yet 
its  value  depends  wholly  on  the  serious  and  loving  spirit  in  which  it 
is  entered  into.  The  Service  should  not  be  lightly  introduced  into 
any  church,  or  lightly  pro]>osed  by  any  new  minister.  The  thought 
of  it  should  grow  by  (juiet  conference  among  the  pcoi)le  into  a  want 
for  it ;  and  when  hearts  have  been  drawn  together  warmly,  and  the 
Church-IIome  feeling  is  already  strong,  even  then  its  introduction 
-hould  be  waived  until  nearly  all  with  one  mind  approach  the 
thought  with  joy. 

It  i>'recommended  tliat  the  Seivice  be  held  on  appointed  Sun- 
days of  the  year — whet  her  one  or  more — and  only  on  these,  to  the  end 
that  it  lie  looked  forward  to  with  siiccial  interest  and  feeling.  If 
uiily  one  Sunday  be  aiipointed,  the  New  Year's  Sunday  seems  the 
nio.st  titling  day.  As  the  children  of  the  church  approach  the  age  of 
sixteen  years,  it  is  to  be  lioj)cdthat  they  will  wish  to  receive  the  wel- 
cMiiic  and  j</in  tlu'ir  names  to  those  of  father,  mother  and  friends  on 
the  Book  of  the  Cliuicli-lliiiiie.  They  should  not  be  urged,  Init  yet 
not  uninviteil,  to  do  so.  The  jtastor,  the  teachers  of  the  Sun<lay 
School,  and  especially  the  juiieiits,  if  they  value  the  service,  will  not 
forget  its  re]ati(ni  to  the  children. 

We  give  here  two  forms  which  may  indicate  the  kind  of  service 
we  have  in  mind  and  possibly  serve  as  helps  or  suggestions.

We  add  .some  examples  of  Church  Covenants: 

(1)     The  CiruRcH  at  Ann  AiinoR,  Miciiig.vn. 

"lUlicving  ill  that  Kuligioii  of  Nature  and  the  Human  Soul  which  existed  be- 
fiirr  all  Bibles,  which  has  uttered  itself  with  greater  or  less  clearness  through  the 
icligious  teachers  of  all  lands  and  ages,  but  which  was  ta\iglit  and  impressed  upon 
the  world  with  uuequaled  power  by  Jesus  of  Nazareth,  the  great  prophet  of  (iod. 
from  wh(i>e  words  and  life  came  Christianity,  we.  the  undersigned,  do  hereby  as- 
Mniate  oui'selves  togi'tber  as  a  Cliristian  Church,  for  tlie  iiurjiose  of  promoting  that 
religion  in  ourselves  and  in  society  around  us.  by  maintaining  regular  meetings  for 
unite<l  wor-hip,  by  earnestly  setddng  truth  '.o^ether.  by  cultivating  among  ourselves 
a  -pirit  of  sincere  and  loving  brotherhood,  and  by  endeavoring  in  every  way  in  our 
power  to  do  good  in  the  world.  Imposing  no  creed  ujion  the  consciences  of  any,  we 
c(ir<!ia!ly  welconu-  all  to  ;i  place  among  us  who  sympathize  with  us  in  these  our 
general  aims,-'  (1880.) 

(2)    Tjie  CiriiuH  AT  Des  Moines,  Iow.v. 

Bond  of  Union  :  "Kecognizing  tlie  Fatherhood  of  God,  the  Brotherhood  of  Man- 
kind, receiving  Jesus  as  Teacher,  seeking  the  '  Spirit  of  Truth  '  as  the  guide  of  our 
lives,  and  in  the  hope  of  immortal  life,  we  associate  ourselves  together  to  maintain 
the  public  worship  of  God  and.to  jjromotc  the  welfare  of  humanity." 

(.'!)     The  Church  at  Cincinnati,  Ohio. 

Bond  of  Union  :  ""We.  whose  names  are  here  recorded,  join  ourselves  together, 
hourf  and  hand,  as  members  of  the  First  Congregational  Church  of  Cincinnati,  for

The  summec.  days  are  come  again, 

The  birds  are  on  the  wing; 
God's  praises,  in  their  loving  strain, 

Unconsciously  they  sing: 
We  know  who  giveth  all  the  good 

That  doth  our  cup  o'crbrim: 
For  summer  joy  in  field  and  wood 

We  lift  our  song  to  him.

\V.  (".  (Jannktt. 
(For  Kmancipation,  or  Decoration,  Day.) 

One  moment  on  the  scatrold,  and  he  left  it  Holy  Ground! 
Three  hundred  thou.sand  heroes  now  lie  guarding  it  around. 
But  reverent  heart.s  are  pilgrim  still  to  many  a  sacred  mound,— 

And  the  Ri<rht  goes  marching  on  I 
(Jod  had  counted  up  the  slave-graves  and  heard  the  l)lack  man's 

moan, 
Till    at    last    a    leaj)ing    thunder    shook    the    awful  .ludgment- 

Throne, — 
"  For  each  lash  a  cannon-crash  !   For  each  cry  a  l)attle-groan  !" 

And  the  Right  goes  marching  on  ! 
The  Hands  wherein  the  sparrow  falls,  that  beckon  to  the  star, 
Are  Hands  that  harness  unseen  Dooms  to  Wrong's  triumphal  car, 
.vnd  his  steeds  untiring  draw  the  nations  trembling  tn  the  Bar, — 

And  the  Right  goes  marching  on  I 
Then,  if  {)erchance  a  nation's  Soul  from  out  her  shame  shall  rise 
And  light  of  Justice  kindle  fresli  within  lier  chastened  eyes, 
The  God,  who  dooms,  shall  save  her  l)y  the  jtain  that  jjurifies,  — 

And  the  Right  goes  marching  on  ! 
Lo,  the  llowers  are  Itreaking  forth,  and  the  grasses  are  a-wave, 
Where  tlie  bodies  of  our  hero  dead  are  sleejjing  in  the  grave: 
So  shall  blessingcrown  the  woe,  for  his  Haiuls  are  strong  to  save, —

Ho  is  traiiiiiling  out  the  vint:i«;('  where  tlie  grapes  of  wratli  are 

stored  : 
He  liath  loosed  the  fateful  liglitniu^'s  of  his  terrible  swift  sword  ; 

His  truth  is  inarehiug  on. 
I  liave  seen  liini  in  the  wateh-fires  of  a  hundred  circling  camps : 
They  have  huilded  liini  an  altar  in  the  evening  dews  and  damps ; 
I  can  read  his  righteous  sentence  by  the  dim  and  flaring  lamj)s; 

His  day  is  marching  on. 
I  have  read  a  tiery  gospel,  writ  in  burnished  rows  of  steel : 
"  As  ye  deal  with  my  contemners,  so  with  you  my  grace  shall  deal: 
]>et  the  Hero,  born  of  woman,  crush  the  seri)ent  with  his  heel. 

Since  God  is  marching  on." 
He  has  sounded  f(^rth  the  trumpet  that  shall  never  call  retreat  : 
He  is  sifting  out  the  hearts  of  men  before  his  judgment  seat  ; 
(),  be  swift,  my  soul,  to  answer  him  1  be  jubilant,  my  feet! 

Our  God  is  marching  on. 
In  the  beauty  of  the  lilies  Christ  was  born  across  the  sea. 
With  a  glory  in  his  bosom  that  transfigures  y(ju  and  me  ; 
As  he  died  to  make  men  holy,  let  us  die  to  make  men  free, 

While  God  is  marching  on.
